Activities

The Hollings Marine Laboratory is built on an approximately 8-acre site within the Fort Johnson campus of the South Carolina Marine Resources Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Dedicated on December 21, 2000, the 103,000 square foot laboratory promotes collaborative and interdisciplinary scientific research to sustain, protect, and restore coastal ecosystems. The facility boasts a collection of laboratories that provide applied science to keep America’s coastal communities and economies safe from contaminants, storm surge and flooding, and poorly planned offshore development. NCCOS scientists provide life-saving tools to detect toxic algae and contaminants, understand how toxins like polyfluoroalkyl substances (more commonly referred to as PFAS) and oil dispersants impact coastal animals, and monitor marine mammal health with an emphasis on understanding the implications to human health.
